What do we think, we can recruit like LSU and go after top 150 talent?

I like it so far. You can't get top 150 talent if you don't recruit them.

I've consistently maintained that the Hampton Roads area should be the southern end of our core recruiting area.

There's always a ton of high level talent coming out of there and VT, UVA, UNC will always get their share. But there's enough talent to grab 2-3 a year from that area.

I don't think that is a bad plan but man there is so much talent in Florida to be gotten year in and year out that UConn will always be there. Tough to get some kids to come north though from Va Beach area.

Aside from VA and FL in the south, I think we have to continue to recruit Georgia. I know we were recruiting some Texas kids, but I think we can get more bang for our recruiting buck recruiting a talent-rich state with only two FBS schools.

I'm not in favor of lessening our recruiting presence in Florida for Hampton Roads. To me Hampton Roads (Va Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hampton and Newport News) should be part of the core area of our recruiting- which I consider to be New England, NY, NJ, PA, MD and DC.

Florida, Georgia, Texas and Ohio are the outliers. We need to recruit them and keep a presence there and get 2-3 players from each of those states.
